Fashionably Feathered…
These Fashionably Feathered Friends are just too cute!
Tip of the Day for Bloggers/Photographers:
A Point and Shoot Camera is STILL a Camera!!
You can still get some amazing shots with a point and shoot.
Case in point…these images were shot with a point and shoot with a zoom lens.
The rainy season is now upon us and I didn’t want to take the chance for the expensive equipment to get wet.
So what is a girl to do…bring her point and shoot right?!Remember YOU are the one creating the photo…NOT the camera.
Hope you are having a great week!
P.S. We are going to see Little Man in a few weeks! So you know who will be showing up here…very soon♥

Such amusing captures! Great shots!
I have come back a second time to thank you for sharing those beautiful orange beaked birds on Mandarin Orange Monday:))
LOVE your feathered friends!!!!!! (ornithology has become my passion too)
These photos are beautiful!! Just goes to show you don’t need an expensive camera to capture such a lovely shot!
Thank you for your sweet comment.
Wonderful captures. Have a fabulous week!

Fantastic shots!
Beautiful post! I admire your photographic knowledge, and than you for sharing! I almost miss it, your recent two posts did not come through my reader…
I just adore these birds! They are so fun to photograph-such personality-just like my seagulls at Ludington! Thank you for stopping by.
I just love the little tips you include with each post. To this day, I level the horizon!!
Nice photos. My favorite gulls are the Laughing Gulls with the dark hoods on their heads. I use a point and shoot with a zoom and love it!
Beautiful photos!!
Wow! Your photos are amazing! Love all the birds so sweet. I am enjoying the visit here tonight. Lovely! Thank you for sharing.
I love my point and shoot and my DSLR, just for different reasons 🙂 Lovely photos!
what a nice little saying! Love the birdies! {:-D
All wonderful shots!!
Well said Laurie! Your photos are gorgeous and so crisp… even the best (most expensive) cameras couldn’t turn out photos like that without the passion and commitment (and talent) of the photographer behind the lens 🙂
Wow so close and beautiful! Love it!
Thank you Ute!

I just love these pictures, so I am sharing. They are just so beautiful and artistic. What do you thing?
That is fine Colette, as long as you linked back…have a great day and thank you for the sweet comment.
“There’s no crime on shooting on auto”, said the professional I took a photography course with. Many of my favourite compositions are just simply the Point of View chosen by the person behind the camera. Are your feathered friends intently waiting on a treat?
It sure looks that way doesn’t it?
I love this both in image and in reminder of using skill and knowledge to get the best image possible with what you have!
Amazingly clear photos, Laurie. A good day to you
Too true … I don’t have an SLR (yet)! My friend TIm is always saying “it’s the eye, not the camera”. Nice pics!!!! Love the last one … looks like they’re having a find convo and a good laugh!
What amazing shots. What kind of point and shoot with zoom do you use?
Lady Fi, I am not at home to look at the name, but it is an old one from canon with a permanent zoom lens attached.
Great shots Laurie. I am researching another camera and although I would like to get a DSLR, I’m not sure it is for me as we do so much hiking and having that much equipment with me to tote around does not seem to make sense. I have been looking at bridge cameras and micro 4/3 cameras. Since I do not intend to be a professional, I’m not sure investing in a DSLR makes sense. Any thoughts from a pro?
Fun feathered friends! I agree, some times the p&s or the iphone do the job well!
They look like they are singing in a chorus line 🙂 Super shots Laurie !
Oh I do bet you are excited re ….. Little Man visit … 🙂
They ARE adorable – especially love the last shot. Look forward to your little one 🙂
Those images are so sharp and great compositions too. Thanks for the tips and your visits:)
some great shots with your point and shoot….love those shore birds!!
Wow, those close-ups are just gorgeous! My only camera is my phone, so I’m waaaaay behind in the photography game 🙂
Great capturing of the birds. I like them!
Your feathered friends are beautiful! I love my point and shoot camera as much as I love my Nikon D40!!
Amazing Laurie! Those birds have so much personality! Good camera advice too! Have fun visiting your grandson!
What a handsome group! And not an alligator in sight. Good for them. 🙂
These are excellent, Laurie. I agree, P&S these days are a lot more advanced than they used to.
What great photos! Your feathered friends posed SO nicely for you. Aren’t we lucky to be surrounded by such magnificient wildlife here in southwest FLA!
These are some great shots…not matter the camera it’s the photographer who makes them look good!
Excellent photos!!
Ohhhhhhhhh! Those are awesome shots, Laurie!! 🙂
Snaggletooth Ginger Kitty
These are great!
I agree!! Most of my photos is with my point&shoot camera (only because it is much easier to carry around!!!)… I won’t be able to cope without it!!! I use my DSLR on rare occasions (because of the bulkiness of it!!) 🙂 **
Fantastic captures Laurie.
Gah, that’s a point and shoot?!?!??! My camera broke while we were on vacation and I had to buy a cheapo point and shoot with disposable batteries. I’ve been whining. Your post makes me not want to whine. 🙂 Beautiful pictures!
Amazing shots, Laurie! Hoping you have a good day
These are great! Sometimes a point and shoot is just easier to carry around… and they can take good photos. I got a few a while back of some goslings in our neighbourhood with my little point and shoot – http://jennsrandomscraps.blogspot.ca/2013/06/pond-life-and-family-of-canada-geese.html

The birds are fabulously feathered, and I am really encouraged that such clear photos are possible with a Point and shoot camera and zoom lens.
What handsome creatures they are!
They are fashionable indeed! Great shots! Lately, when I take my better camera and go out to the beach I start hearing rumbles in the sky – so I run back 🙂
Right now the sky rumbles every minute down here…sigh☺
Great shots Laurie, I love the close-ups of these guys. I have a point and shoot and can’t figure out why my close-ups aren’t as focused and clear – these are wonderful!
My old boss used to say that a golden spoon doesn’t turn a cook into a chef. Nice photos!
Cheers,
Charlie
Charles, I love this saying from your old boss…thanks for the smile.
Cameras are like life, try to be happy with what you have 🙂
From all of the ‘very’ amateur photographers who love to take photos but have a point and shoot digital camera as equipment, I thank you for the support. I love your wonderfully written posts, beautiful photos, and your tips for all of us struggling to be better photographers. My pulse quickens when I see your post in my email. Thank you for taking time from your busy day to give us tips to improve our skills. 🙂
Judy, what a delightful comment you have left me….thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Great post and cute photos. All I have is a point and shoot camera. I don’t own expensive equipment. It’s all about being creative, not technical! 🙂
Lucky You, to see your Little Man. Pictures are very clear and sharp even with P&S. Great.
Makes me want to go to the beach! Great shots, Laurie 🙂
Wow! These are amazing shots Laurie and yes, I totally agree with you. The camera you have with you are the best and it doesn’t matter if it’s a point and shoot, cellphone, iPhone, etc. It is the one that takes the photo that creates it. Lovely post and these birds are just absolutely adorable!!!! Thanks for sharing. 😀 *hugs*
